Out of the classroom, into the trenches

LAWS was featured in the February 28, 2008 issue of the Globe and Mail. The article highlightes the exceptional work of law student volunteers and the immediate and long-term benefits of volunteering for the program. The story quotes LAWS director Alexis Archbold,

"The [law] students' work involves a hugely diverse community that faces a variety of issues," says Alexis Archbold, director of the LAWS program. "As a result of being exposed to a cross-section of the community in Toronto … they learn how to communicate across cultural differences and they gain an understanding of the issues these communities face. This can only help law students as future lawyers."
